The American Males (Marcus Alexander Bagwell and Scotty Riggs) beat Public Enemy (Johnny Grunge and "Flyboy" Rocco Rock) after Grunge and Rocco Rock spend too long double-teaming The American Males. During the match, it is announced that next week's show has a special 7 PM Eastern start time. It is also announced that there will be a 16-team tag team tournament, with the final four teams fighting each other for a shot at the WCW World Heavyweight Championship at Slamboree. Scotty Riggs is sandwiched through a table after the match.
"Mean" Gene Okerlund announces the first-round drawings for the Lethal Lottery tag team tournament. Hugh Morrus and Meng will be facing off against the team of Meng's usual partner Barbarian and "Hard Work" Bobby Walker. Stevie Ray and Big Bubba will face Fire and Ice (Scott "Flash" Norton and Ice Train). In the most surprising drawing so far, "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair will team up with "Macho Man" Randy Savage" to take on "The Enforcer" Arn Anderson and Eddie Guerrero.
"The Crippler" Chris Benoit uses the rope while the referee is directly underneath his arm to beat Eddie Guerrero.
"Mean" Gene Okerlund is joined by WCW Front Office Vice President Rob Garner. "Macho Man" Randy Savage shows up, and Garner tells him that if he does not cease his actions towards "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair, the repercussions will be severe. Savage says he will be creative as doing what he wants to do when he wants to do it, and says that he will be the tag team partner from hell when it comes time to teaming with Flair. Garner tells Savage he should seek professional help, but Savage threatens to get physical with Garner (asking him what an open-hand slap is) and threatens to do something to electrify WCW, then leaves.
This Saturday on WCW Saturday Night: "Lord" Steven Regal vs. The Belfast Bruiser! "Macho Man" Randy Savage! The Giant! Chris Benoit vs. Alex Wright! Sting and Lex Luger vs. Harlem Heat!
It is announced that all titles will be on the line in tonight's main event. If anyone pins "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair, they will be the new WCW World Heavyweight Championship. Also, if The Giant or Flair pins Sting or Lex Luger, they will both be one-half of the WCW World Tag Team Championships. If Lex Luger is pinned, he will also lose the WCW World Television Championship in addition to the WCW World Tag Team Championships.
"Hacksaw" Jim Duggan beats Meng after taping up his fist. During the match, the results of tonight's WWF Raw are spoiled.
"Mean" Gene Okerlund announces more drawings for the Lethal Lottery tag team tournament. "Das Wunderkind" Alex Wright will team up with Disco Inferno to take on "Earl" Robert Eaton and "Dirty" Dick Slater. "Lord" Steven Regal will be teaming up with his rival The Belfast Bruiser to take on V.K. Wallstreet and "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan.
Before the next match, "Macho Man" Randy Savage goes after "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair, but local authorities quickly apprehend Savage and handcuff him. Flair tries to stomp Savage as he is being cuffed, then Savage is carried to the back. Also, Flair tries once again to impress Steve "Mongo" McMichael's wife Debra, who is seated next to the aisle again this week.
Sting and Lex Luger vs. "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair and The Giant ends when The Nature Boy accidentally tosses hot coffee (handed to him by Woman) into the face of The Giant. Luger, Sting and Flair all get out of dodge, but Flair gets a towel for The Giant and apologizes. As "Mean" Gene Okerlund is about to conduct an interview with Flair, The Giant and Jimmy Hart, The Giant confronts Flair. Flair escapes, and The Giant tells Flair that he will take the World Heavyweight Championship. Flair tells The Giant he has until the end of the night to apologize to him, "or next week, I'll kick your big ass." This causes The Giant to run after The Nature Boy at mach speed and chase him to the back, and it is announced not long after that the World title will be on the line between the two of them next week.
